There's a severe thunderstorm warning for my area. The weather radio just sounded the alarm a few minutes ago. The weather is out to the west in NE Illinois in a line from Chicago southwest to the southern burbs and exurbs.

It seems like we are getting a lot more thunderstorms this season.

I stopped by Ta Canijo (slang for "Difficult Situation" according to their website) in the truck stop in Sauk Village on 394 on the way back from O'Hare to grab a huge burrito to bring back to share with my son.

This is the place I spotted the other day when I stopped in to get a fountain drink and a pizza slice.

This must be a ticket day in Indiana. I saw police out in force in Merrillville and Valparaiso today.
